SINGING FROM THE SAME HYMN BOOK
By
James Bredin

Why can the Swiss have binding referendums and we can't?
Plus the Swiss have euthanasia while we complain and rant?
While our media still tells us that we should be pompously proud,
And we should fall in line behind the politically correct crowd.

A million appointees in Ottawa don't find this very strange,
They are dedicated to the notion that there will be no change,
And binding referendums will be forever disapproved,
And appointees who do not quietly agree may be removed.

As we watch senators get appointed by one of their friends,
No relation to democracy that these actions transcend,
Those into democracy can see the hidden party hook,
Friends of friends in high places singing from the same hymn book.
